Quick update:
Set to work fitting my Vibratechnics top engine mounts this weekend all went well until I found I couldn't get my 17mm Deep reach up the sub frame hole and through the stupid gap 3/4 of the way up. Ended up borrowing a snap on double depth socket from a mate. Also had to modify the offside alloy engine mount bracket to allow for the protruding cap heads on the actual mount so it sat flush.
Only took this pic of the nearside not a difficult job really if you have the right tools.
